The show featured Sukhoi-30 jets, Dornier Do-228 aircraft, Antonov An-32 transport planes, Chinook heavy-lift helicopters, and Mi-17 helicopters.

A large and enthusiastic audience, comprising military and civil dignitaries, venerated air veterans, and hundreds of local schoolchildren, gathered to witness the display. Alongside the thrilling flying demonstrations, the event included a special exhibition and a movie release dedicated to commemorating India’s 1971 war victory that led to the liberation of Bangladesh.

The Vijay Diwas celebrations hold particular significance for the Eastern Air Command, which played a pivotal role during the 1971 conflict. Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, speaking to the media, fondly recalled the IAF’s crucial contributions during the war and emphasized the importance of joint operations between the armed forces.

“I’m very happy to share the memories of that time. The Indian Air Force stood rock solid and delivered as expected, whether it was during day operations in November, the swift air ceasefire, or the decisive strikes, such as the attack on the Governor’s House in Bangladesh, which brought the war to a conclusive end. In those 13 days of rapid action, I witnessed Pakistan buckle under pressure and seek a ceasefire,” said Air Chief Marshal Singh.

When asked about Operation Sindoor, the Air Chief Marshal noted that the operation is still ongoing, underscoring India’s continuous readiness to meet any challenge.

The event was a vivid reminder of India’s military strength and the valor of its armed forces, leaving spectators inspired and proud of the country’s historic achievements.
